Document Number: 023-0284-01 Revision: A

1.0 Introduction

This document defines the electromechanical parameters and operating characteristics for a 12’1” Active

Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) based product, hereafter referred to as the Monitor. It is intended

for operation in high ambient light, outdoor environment. The Monitor has a scaleable video format

capable of displaying a minimum of VGA (640 x 480) through XGA (1024 x 768) input resolution.

The Monitor can be driven directly from the standard analog Video Graphics Array (VGA) output on a

personal computer (PC). It consists of a 12.1" viewable diagonal LCD Panel with optical elements, Cold-

Cathode Fluorescent Backlight, Backlight Inverter Board, and LCD Controller Board. Cooling fans provide

temperature stabilization within the Monitor’s operating environment. Two (2) chassis mounted

connectors at the rear provide for video signal and DC power input connections. These components will

be mounted in a fully enclosed chassis.

1.1 Display Format

The Monitor is compatible with IBM VGA

and VESA

video standards. Its operating frequency

range is 31.5 KHz?56.5 KHz horizontal; 60 Hz?72 Hz (non-interlaced) vertical. Specific video

resolutions supported are as follows:

For IBM VGA

modes, the Monitor will accept 640 pixels horizontally; 400 or 480 lines vertically

and 800 pixels or 1024 pixels horizontally, 600 lines or 768 lines vertically for the VESA

modes.

Figure 9 defines the video signal timing requirements.

The LCD Controller Board will automatically program itself, sensing incoming horizontal/vertical

frequencies and sync pulse polarities to completely “fill” the active display area of the Monitor

with the video resolution being presented. Section 4.4.1 (Video Mode Definitions) defines

parameters for video resolution detection by the LCD Controller Board.

Note: IBM VGA

modes with border and the 720 x 400 video resolution are excluded from

completely filling the active display area horizontally. Only the first 640 pixels will be displayed.

2.0 Basic Construction

2.1 Weight

Monitor weight does not exceed 5 Kgs (11 lbs).

2.2 Mechanical Mounting Requirements

Per Planar Mechanical Outline drawing 074-0666-01

2.3 Monitor Electronics

Electronic components requiring heat sinks are installed independent of the Monitor enclosure.

That is, its sheet metal chassis is not used as a heat sink for any electronic component.

2.4 Cooling Fan

Cooling fans are installed to maintain appropriate internal operating temperatures when the

Monitor is subjected to its operating environment of Section 3. Forced air convection is used to

cool the LCD Panel (front and back).

2.5 Vandal Glass

The Monitor is designed to operate with a vandal glass 289 mm x212 mm x 10 mm in place. This

vandal glass in not provided with the Monitor.

2.6 Air Filtration

An air filter mesh is included to prevent ingress of insects and ensure continual flow of cooling air

within the Monitor. The air filter mesh is externally accessible for cleaning.

2.7 Connectors

There are two (2) connectors supplied as an integral part of the Monitor.

2.7.1 Video Signal Connector

The Monitor unit includes a chassis mounted 15-pin female mini D-Shell connector

(AMP 748390-5 or equivalent) with socket contacts at the rear of the Monitor. It is

shielded for electromagnetic interference (EMI) purposes. Refer to Section 4.1 for

electrical connections.

2.7.2 DC Power Input Connector

The DC power input connector is a chassis mounted 2-pin "MAT?N?LOK" style

connector (AMP 1-480699-0 or equivalent) with pin contacts at the rear of the

Monitor. Connections are insulated to insure no accidental contact.

Document Number: 023-0284-01 Revision: A

2.8 LCD Controller Board

The LCD Controller Board incorporates components necessary to drive the LCD Panel (Section

6.7). Accepting VGA and VESA video standards (Section 1.2), these video signals are digitized and

processed for the LCD Panel. Due to the LCD Panel’s fixed video resolution (800 x 600), the LCD

Controller Board will perform independent horizontal and vertical zoom and shrink scaling of

specified video resolutions less than or greater than the LCD Panel’s video resolution to fully

accommodate the LCD Panel’s capability.

Magnification or reduction of specified video resolutions to match the native LCD Panel’s

resolution incorporates scaling algorithms minimizing aliasing and image distortion. The LCD

Controller Board includes the following characteristics:

• Per pixel scaleable filters providing text sharpening and graphics smoothing for improved

image quality.

• Color depth enhancement by performing spatial-temporal dithering reducing visual artifacts.

2.9 Grounding

Two (2) types of ground are provided: Chassis and Signal ground.

2.9.1 Chassis Ground

The chassis ground is a conductor that is grounded to the earth within user circuitry.

It is not used for current carrying purposes. It is used only for non-current carrying

purposes such as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

2.9.2 Signal Ground

Signal ground is electrically connected to chassis ground via the LCD Panel.

However, there are no DC currents carried through this interconnect.

2.10 External And Internal Controls

A single external “Video Gain” control compensates for the white state (full white) video signal

level range specified in Section 4.2.1 in achieving sixty-four (64) shades of gray.

External horizontal and vertical image positioning control(s) are provided to accommodate for

the undefined delay between sync and video data edge referred to as Front Porch / Back Porch in

Figure 9.

Table 2. Video Signal Connector – Pin Number Assignments

The Video Signal Connector that connects to the customer’s equipment is a female 15-pin

connector in a high density 9-pin D-Shell housing. Pin number assignments are defined in Table

2, and physical layout as seen by the interface cable from user logic is shown in Table 4.

Figure 4. Video Signal Connector Illustration

4.2 Signal Functions

4.2.1 Video Parameters

As seen by the source, input resistance is 75-ohm, ±10%; input capacitance at (150

MHZ) <10-pF.

Coaxial cable is provided for video signal line(s) to match impedances and for EMI

attenuation. The video input signal will have a range of 0-mv to 714-mv (maximum)

Title: Product Specification: LC12 High-Bright Monitor Page 10 of 24

Document Number: 023-0284-01 Revision: A

where 0-mv is minimum luminance. Rise and fall times for the input signal (10% -

90%) will be ?5-ns (Figure 6).

When terminated with a 75-ohm termination, the dark state (black level) is defined

as a level between 0-mv and 10-mv. The white state (full white) is dependent on the

VGA controller driving the Monitor. Maximum levels may range from 550-mv to 714-

mv. Nominal 680-mv input voltage shall be defined as the default for supplier setup

requirements.

Displayed image intensity and colors will change linearly with the video analog

input. This is necessary to provide a uniform user color change on the screen in

response to a uniformly stepped analog input. The Monitor must be capable of

resolving a minimum color range of 262,144 displayable colors (6 bit resolution for

Red, Green and Blue). This interpolates to 64 shades of gray (or color) at the Red,

Green, and Blue analog video inputs. Accomplishing specified shades of gray

requires a “Video Gain” control adjustment (Section 15.0 ) of Red, Green, and Blue

analog input signals based on the maximum output level range previously specified.

based on the state of the Monitor Sense Lines. The Monitor will indicate to

the source that it is a "color display" when Monitor Sense Line 1 (Pin 11) is

Title: Product Specification: LC12 High-Bright Monitor Page 12 of 24

Document Number: 023-0284-01 Revision: A

physically connected to Signal Ground Reference (Pin 10) as defined by the

wiring definitions of Table 2.

4.3 Signal Quality

4.3.1 TTL Sync Pulse Signal Levels

Input levels for the horizontal and vertical sync pulses are defined in Figure 8.

4.3.2 Rise and Fall Times

Rise and fall times are the times required for signal transitions between 10% of Vs

above Low Steady Level and 10% of Vs below High Steady Level where Vs is the

peak-to-peak video input signal level. The overshoot, if present, shall be exempted

from establishing these high/low levels referenced in. Both rise and fall times of each

input signal shall be as follows:

Video: Less than 5-ns

Horizontal Sync: Less than 50-ns

Vertical Sync: Less than 100-ns

4.4 Timing and Frequency

4.4.1 Video, Horizontal And Vertical Sync

Figure 6 illustrate video timing relationships the Monitor operates within when the

specified video mode (per Table 3) is applied.

Front Porch defines the time from end of active video data to the start of Horiz/Vert

Sync Pulse.

Back Porch defines the time from end of Horiz/Vert Sync Pulse to the start of active

video data.

Blanking is the total time comprising Front Porch, Back Porch and Sync Pulse time(s).

The horizontal sync circuitry synchronizes to horizontal frequencies of 31.468 KHz

±0.5 KHz, 48.077KHz ±0.5KHz, and 56.476KHz ±0.5KHz. Horizontal sync pulse width

variation is 1.813-µsec to 3.813-µsec. The Monitor will "sync" to the specified format

vertical frequencies between 60Hz?72Hz without adjustment.

Absence of Horizontal and/or Vertical Sync will not damage the Monitor nor violate

EMI radiation limits specified herein.

6.3 Display Uniformity

Luminance Uniformity (U

) measured within 30 mm from edge of the display image area is + 40%

of the luminance measured at the center of the display screen.

6.4 Display Chromaticity

The metric used for color coordinate determination is the CIE 1976 UCS (Uniform Chromaticity

Scale) u’, v’ system.

Color determination is performed normal to the display in a dark room environment with

ambient light conditions less than 10 LUX [1fC] incident illumination.

The measured u’, v’ color coordinates at room temperature for White-light and the Red, Green,

and Blue primaries are listed for reference purposes only.
